After 5 LONG days, we finally got to meet with the surgeon today. We both felt really good about him, and plan to continue treatment with him. Surgery is scheduled for next week, no specific date yet. Unlike other cancers, you can't know the stage of colon cancer until the tumor is removed and analyzed by the pathologist. We will then be able to meet with an oncologist after surgery to determine what additional treatment, like chemo, is needed. Basically his whole sigmoid colon will be removed along with surrounding lymph nodes. He will be in the hospital between 3-7 days and recovery time is about 4 weeks. We can't say how grateful we are to everyone and their fasting, prayers and love. We have really felt so much comfort these last few days. Thank you, thank you. I will also post again once I find out the actual date of the surgery.
